Short description

For sale is a Canon AL-1 QF 35mm SLR Film Camera body, a historically significant model known for introducing the ""Quick Focus"" (QF) system. This innovative feature uses an electronic focus-assist display in the viewfinder to help the user achieve perfect manual focus, making it an excellent choice for those who want the classic FD-mount experience with a helpful technological edge. The product has been fully tested and works properly, with the light meter, shutter speeds, and focus-assist sensors all functioning as intended. The camera body is in good cosmetic condition, showing remarkably little to no signs of wear on the black finish. Please note that the battery door is loose, a common characteristic of this specific model; however, it remains fully functional when held closed manually or secured with a small piece of tape or a grip. This is a great opportunity to own a well-preserved piece of Canon's film history that remains a capable and intuitive tool for 35mm photography.

Product Description

The Canon AL-1 QF, released in 1982, is a unique and historically significant member of the legendary A-series of 35mm SLRs. Standing for "Quick Focus," the AL-1 was Canon’s pioneering attempt to bridge the gap between manual and autofocus technology. It features an innovative electronic rangefinder system that provides focus-assist indicators within the viewfinder. Using a contrast-detection sensor, the camera displays bright green and red LEDs to tell the photographer exactly which way to turn the lens to achieve critical focus—making it an ideal choice for those who struggle with traditional split-prism screens or are new to manual-focus photography.

Structurally, the AL-1 departs from the classic styling of the AE-1 with a more modern, ergonomic body that includes a built-in finger grip, which also serves as the battery compartment. It operates primarily in Aperture-Priority AE (Automatic Exposure) mode, allowing the user to select the f-stop while the camera’s stepless electronic shutter selects the perfect speed for the light available. Unlike many other A-series cameras that require specialized 4LR44 batteries, the AL-1 is powered by two standard AAA batteries, making it one of the most convenient vintage SLRs to keep powered in the field.
